Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is making the rounds these days and sure is speaking his mind.  One of the outlets he spoke with was Fighters Only Magazine and he didn't seem too thrilled with the man who beat him for the UFC light heavyweight title Forrest Griffin.

“After the fight, I said ‘I’ve got to give you a lot of respect, because you hurt my leg and you had a good game plan’,” he explains.

“But now, I don’t respect him as a man. Because if it was me, I would have said, ‘I have to give him a rematch right away, to remove all doubt’.

“I’m a man and when you fight it’s all about honour (sic). I’m not angry at him or anything, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve lost respect for him as a man.”

Well, I can understand him wanting a rematch for the title but he should give Forrest more credit for beating him.  I guess he would if he thought he lost the fight.  Yep, Rampage also told the magazine that he didn't lose.

“I just want my fans to know, I was at my worst and Forrest was at his best - and I still beat him."

Well well well.  If I was Forrest, I wouldn't have much respect for Rampage after that comment.  The fight between the two of them was a good, hard-fought battle but I definitely had Forrest winning as did most people

I really wish this was the Jackson that was just having fun and speaking sarcastically but it sure doesn't sound like it.
